Hi all,

I did the AAC and Air Reg clean recently and now my car idles higher then before i cleaned them!

It's currently idling at 1100 and sometimes goes up a couple of hundred.

Not sure what the problem could be.

Tried turning the AAC screw but wouldn't bring the revs down and if i turned it down to much the car stalls when engine is cold but when warm it stays alive but idles 1100+

Anyone know if the Air Reg is meant to have a tiny gap/hole when normal? I recall when i assembled it together after cleaning it i looked through the hole/pipe and i noticed it's not fully blocked off and there was a little gap/hole.

If that should be fully closed then that might be why i got high idle?!

Any other suggestions would be great!

Thanks.

You need to disconnect one of the plugs on the AAC valve I'm pretty sure to adjust it

Or maybe one of the TPS plugs?

Sorry don't remember which one. But once you do this your revs will drop so if you've wound it in it might stall.

i had a funny feeling it was the aac plug because if its still plugged in the computer can open or close the AAC valve? But hey it probably is the TPS. It should work if you can get it into base idle mode anyway.... dunno why it wasnt changing the idle

Screw in for revs down and screw out for revs up I think?

Been far to long since ive had to do this lol

Perhaps try resetting the stock ECU if its still the standard one

the idle adjust screw has a small rubber o-ring around the inside. maybe when you put it back together you left the o-ring out? it shouldnt even be removable really, from memory it has a strip in the centre that is threaded thru the middle of the idle screw. but mine had come off when i pulled it apart.

Unplug the AAC when adjusting the AAC idle screw. The air regulator should be fully open when cold and will close as the engine warms up. It should be fully closed when the surrounding temp reaches approx 60degs.

according to the r33 workshop manual you only unplug the AAC valve on a GTR. on rb20 and rb25 powered cars you unplug the TPS.

If it is an R32 with RB20DET the AAC connector should be disconnected which is the same for the R32 RB26DETT. If it is an R33 or R34 RB25 it is the TPS. I double checked with the R32, R33 and R34 workshop manuals.

This sounds about right

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
